OUR STORY: BUILT ON LOVE (& A LOT OF FEATHERS)🦜 

At My Friend the Canary, we’ve always believed birds deserve more than just the basics—they deserve real care, comfort, and connection.

What started as a small bird shop in Scarborough, Toronto has grown into something more personal. Now based in Innisfil, we offer home-based services that feel less like a business—and more like family. We've spent over 10 years caring for birds of all kinds, and that experience shapes everything we do.

Whether it’s fresh seeds your birds will love, stress-free grooming, or a cozy place for them to stay while you’re away—we’re here to help you give your bird the life they deserve.

This isn’t just a service. It’s a space where bird people get each other. And where your feathered friend is treated like one of our own

Why We Do What We Do 💛  

To us, birds aren’t just pets—they’re companions, personalities, little lives we get to care for.
And we take that seriously!

After more than 10 years working closely with birds of all shapes and sizes—from tiny finches and canaries to cheeky cockatiels and sweet parrotlets—we’ve learned one thing: when birds feel good, everything feels better.

Our move to Innisfil opened the door to connect with more bird lovers in places like Barrie, Orillia, and Simcoe County, while still staying close to our original flock in Scarborough. Whether it’s a wing trim, a cozy boarding stay, or a bag of your bird’s favorite fresh seed mix, everything we offer is done with care—and with your bird’s wellbeing at the heart of it.

It’s all about helping your bird feel safe, happy, and right at home

🦋 Our Mission: Personalized Bird Care, Every Time 

Every bird is different—and we’re here for that!
Whether it’s a quick nail trim, a weekend stay, or picking up their favorite seed mix,
our mission is simple: to help your bird feel good, inside and out
We take the time to get to know each bird and their people, because real care starts with connection. Around here, it’s not just about services—it’s about creating a calm, trusted space where birds (and their humans) feel at ease
